Red face Emotions rolling high

Boy Amber wasn't kidding when she told me not to be surprised if I become emotional. Well I was in the hospital but I figured that was because of everything I had just went through. But today everything makes me want to cry. I was doing dishes and I wanted to cry..... man I am a big baby!!! I guess I need to suck it up and deal, but I don't know why I am so upset.....
Well maybe I do..... lets see I got out of the hospital Sunday eve. my daughter decides it is time to go into early labor, that was monday.... they gave her a shot to stop her contractions, Tuesday we were right back in the hospital with her with more contractions, she has a uti that is causing her contractions so they gave her medication to help, TODAY my daughter was back in the hospital, I am not supposed to drive, but I had to get up there some how, sooo yep i did it I drove, it was awful.... I went to park and I thought the car was stopped after all I didn't feel it's motion and my breaks were on and POW right into a guard rail!!! Well I cracked my bumper I realize it could have been worse and I told her that if it happens again I am sorry she's going to have to have Josh's mom (babys other Gma) come pick her up, next time it could be worse.... So any way she was sick with fever, they said she had a viral infection...... Whats tomorrow going to bring? I hope something possitive. My mom is comming out tonight to help me cause I just can't handle it all. it is way to hard and I feel like doggie dooo.

You don't need to suck up and deal.

After my hernia surgeries, I was really emotional. I cried all the time, over stupid stuff... like long distance commercials(I am not joking).

You know what? Crying and getting it out always felt better than holding it in.

Amen Brother Rob! You've got a witness here!

Actually, better now than later, because later there's more force behind it. You just went thru major surgery girl, give yourself a break. I told you before SuezQ, quit picking on my friend!

I've thrown my share of temper tantrums and cryfests! I mean on the floor rolling and hugging my knees.

It's better to get it out than hold it in.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. I'm sending hugs your way. I'm so glad to hear that your Mom is coming to help you. It's always better when Mom's around.

Be gentle with yourself and take advantage of the help!

Suzeq,
What you are feeling is normal. A Week after my GPBS my daughter who was 3 at the time had a 103 degree tem. and that horrible flu. They made me keep her home for 1 week. During that week my husband also got the flu. What was ironic I got my flu shot the day my daughter came home with it.
Things will get better and almost normal in no time. Remember you just went through major surgery and on top of that just ended the food love affair.

Suzeq,

Hang in there. I'm so glad "mom" is coming to help. Please take advantage of it. You need to rest and rehabilitate. Everything will be better soon!

Is there anything I can do to help? I'm gonna make some time to call you today. I'm sorry Valerie is not doing so hot. We had a little health drama with my oldest yesterday. You cry all you want to! it will make you feel better. You have a lot going on other than the surgery! I would be a big ball of stress too. Just go lay down and cry, get it out of your system, and repeat whenever necessary. I will talk to you really soon! As always your in my thoughts and prayers-Valerie and the baby too!

Sue,
I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time of it. It is perfectly normal for our emotions to be in an uproar after this surgery, and your's are compounded with worry about your daughter. Breath deep and cry when you need to. It is much better to let it out than to keep it bottled up. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs to you.
